PROJECTS

RESEARCH, ORGANISING INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS

I have designed and managed research, information-management and communications projects for 25+ years. I draw on my Library & Information Science background, my ability to make sense of technical material, and my networking skills. I believe it is vital to tell complicated stories in an engaging and elegant way, especially with respect to compliance, standards and rights.

I enjoy the challenge of making messages accessible to all – especially busy and creative people and those who are working in a foreign language: I spent many years as a language teacher and eight at the National Centre for Languages (CILT) where I developed the work on linguistic diversity.

Some examples of past and current projects:

Managing the £700k pa grants portfolio for the Endangered Archives Programme based at the British Library

BAPAM: re-brand; all print and online comms including the posters and reminder cards ‘Are you suffering for your art’; creation of the original online directory of health practitioners specialising in performers’ health.

The Space: learning and production support offering for the pilot, a BBC and Arts Council England partnership.
